Correlation Between Domain Authority and Crawl Penetration?
-
A. Is there a correlation between domain authority and crawl penetration?
B. Is there a correlation between domain authority and juice distribution?
-
I would say "yes" to both A and B.
However, I am willing that pagerank has a much higher correlation with both of them.

Since SEOmoz doesn't provide all of their metrics they use to calculate, it's hard to say just how much the correlation is. But I would have to say that the correlation would be there since good crawl penetration and juice distribution leads to better indexing and a better user experience.
SEOmoz Domain Authority
Domain Authority represents SEOmoz's best prediction about how a website will perform in search engine rankings. Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time. We calculate this metric by combining all of our other link metrics (linking root domains, number of total links, mozRank, mozTrust, etc.) into a one single score.
To determine Domain Authority, we employ machine learning against Google's algorithm to best model how search engine results are generated. Over 150 signals are included in this calculation. We constantly refine this model over time. This means your website's Domain Authority score will often fluxuate. For this reason, it's best to use Domain Authority as a competitive metric against other sites as opposed to a historic measure of your internal SEO efforts.
